Nice little small town breakfast spot. Its a convenient stop along the way to Carlsbad Caverns with…read moreeasy parking, hot food, and coffee. There is spacious outdoor seating and a small amount of indoor seating. You order right through the front door where friendly staff handed us menus so we could choose what we wanted before going to the front. Breakfast Burrito: I loved the size of this, it wasn't too big and the ingredients were well spaced and proportioned. Sausage, egg, potato, and pico with a slice of orange for plating. Coffees: Normal drip coffee that comes burning hot, kept the lid off and it stayed hot for a very long time. Breakfast Bagel: Also a good size. Same ingredients as the burrito and tasted OK. They have a counter up front with backed good, we tried a chocolate chip cookie and it was also OK, tasted better with coffee.

*** solid Saturday breakfast destination with indoor & outdoor seating ***…read more Blue House Bakery & Cafe in Carlsbad, NM, had free street parking all around. Just be careful as this is not what I would refer to as a pedestrian-friendly town. This place gets packed inside... A bit claustrophobic at the register. Order and pay right away inside the cafe up the stairs to the large porch. Sorry, I didn't check for a ramp or how mobile-friendly the place is, but inside it was rather crammed with minimal seats and tables. We sat outside under the large canopy. After about 5 minutes, our food was brought out to us. My youngest daughter wolfed down her relatively large bacon/cheese/egg burrito. A small iced mocha latte made her happy. My oldest girl ordered an egg bowl. She was not happy that the green chile was on the hot side. Her sister and I sometimes wonder if she's really related to us. Lol. Small hot chocolate. I opted for the special: biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were large and fluffy with really fantastic cream gravy with spicy sausage. I was in Heaven. Especially since I didn't have to clean the kitchen. My medium vanilla latte was alright. Altogether our meals came out to $43.60 with a tip included on 10.4.2025.

There was free parking in their private lot. The adorable white and red shop is easily visible from Canal Street in Carlsbad, NM. Each regular cup with one large scoop costed $4. I admitted to our server that I was torn between two flavors and she stated that she could split a regular cup with two kid size scoops for me. Awesome! She didn't tell me that two small scoops was $5.50 but I probably still would've done it. While the flavors were not quite as prevalent as I would have liked, they were enjoyable. We tried: + Superman sherbet (blue raspberry, cherry & vanilla) + Mississippi mud + Coffee + Butter pecan On April 27, 2024, service was friendly & quick to get the line through as the dining area is a bit of a tight squeeze. Perfect way to end our day after a trip to Carlsbad Caverns and before state testing begins at my kids' school. TIPS + samples upon request + cash & plastic accepted Always scream for ice cream!

It was good, the latte was smooth and a little sweet, I was happy with the admittedly annoying custom order. The inside has a long counter and some couches, as well as a smattering of games and books throughout. Very laid back cafe vibe that may not come across from the facade, but it seems like a cool spot for coffee to stay or to go.

There is currently another location in Albuquerque. After school on 5.2.2025, I brought my daughters here. We all ordered smoothies (only 24 oz offered $9.25 each). The shop in Albuquerque sells kid size (16 oz) smoothies, but not this location. I asked. I also grabbed a "mean greens" pressed juice ($10) to go to replenish the iron and vitamin C I lost from recently donating blood. Smoothies we tried & loved: + Banana Reef (banana, pineapple, blue spirulina, Greek yogurt) + Matcha Paradise (pineapple, Matcha, banana, vanilla, Greek yogurt) + Strawberry Swirl (almond milk, strawberry, pineapple, dates, yogurt clouds) I intend to stop by for a coffee someday. They also have food items like avocado toast and power bowls. CON The prices are hefty for the sizes. I will not be going here very often for that fact.
